We did, yes we did!
13.1 miles later, Megan and I are officially Disney Princesses!
We had a great time
We were both a little anxious
but were sweetly reminded to be strong and courageous (Joshua 1:9)
and that Jesus is our sustainer and he has stooped down to make us great (Ps 18:35)
Mom and Dad are literally the best
They got up early to drive us down Friday
Made sure we were where we needed to be
Encouraged us, prayed with us, spoiled us rotten all weekend
I am so grateful for their selfless love
What a beautiful example they set
It was a QUICK weekend
A busy whirlwind
We left around 730 Friday morning
About 6 1/2 hours later, we made it
Megan and I went straight to the expo to pick up our packets
Came back and went for a lovely dinner
Slept
Up early Saturday, around 7 ish, for a warm up jog
Got ready and hit the parks
It was hot,lots of walking, and even more people
(probably not the best before a 1/2 marathon)
but we made the most of it
Came back to the hotel
Mom and Dad brought supper back
We enjoyed it in our room
Naturally, had a little pre-race dessert
Then Megan and I tried to hit the hay early
Beep beep goes the alarm at 2 am (YIKES)
Excited, we got up and ready
Complete with tu-tus and hairbows
Got on a bus to head to the start line at 330 am
Were in our corrals around 445 am
And off we went at 550 ish
We ran all through Disney
Magic Kingdom and Cinderella's castle was definitely the high point
The last few miles were difficult
We were both just ready to finish
We felt like the last mile was never ending
But we did it, sprinted across the finish line (Mom and Dad there cheering for us)
In 2 hours 14 minutes
We are pleased!
We finished and got a beautiful medal
Mom and Dad came bearing beautiful roses
We drank lots of water and were then just ready to be clean
Came back, got all showered and hit the road to head back
Got caught in terrible traffic
Took us 9 hours to make it home but we made it safe and sound
Now life continues on
We are just a little more royal
